HI spectral-line observations of galaxies (Karen O'Neil) . Measuring the width, flux, etc. of the HI profile of two galaxies, using some combination of : dwarf emission line, HVC emission line, spiral emission line, and spiral absorption line. This project was designed to demonstrate the fundamentals of spectral line observing and position switching. ... The types of galaxies observed in this project are being kept open and will be determined when the project LST is known. ...

... A similar level of effort is anticipated for HDF-S. We are maintaining a `clearinghouse' for supporting and follow-up observations of the HDF-S. Test observations of the HDF-S field were obtained in October, 1997. ... Simultaneous, parallel observations were made with the three HST instruments STIS, WFPC2 and NICMOS of separate, neighboring fields. ... Additional flanking field observations were made surrounding the deep STIS, WFPC2 and NICMOS fields. ... The red field is the main HDF-S WFPC2 field....
